Sherry Billups was burned to death Monday in O'Fallon, Illinois.

O'Fallon police identified McKissick later in the day day as a "person of interest" in the case and distributed his photo and a description of the white Chevrolet pickup they believed he was driving.

He was captured at 11:05 p.m. last night in Memphis and booked into jail this morning as a fugitive from justice. O'Fallon police say his vehicle was discovered earlier. They expect to extradite him to Illinois.
